FOOTE, LUCIUS HARWOOD (Apr. 10, 1826-June 4, 1913), lawyer, diplomat, was born at Winfield, N. Y., son of Lucius and Electa (Harwood) Foote. His father, a Congregational minister, held pastorates in New York, Ohio, Illi- nois, and Wisconsin. Young Lucius attended Knox College and Western Reserve but did not graduate from either. Because of a restless tem- perament he could not confine himself to the rou- tine of school work. In 1853, the lure of the West led him to join a group of young men who were going overland to California. There he took up the study of law. He was admitted to the bar in 1856, and the same year began a four-year term as mun’ °, al judge of Sacramento. From 1861 to 1865 he was collector of the port of Sac- ramento, and in 1862 he married Rose Frost Car- ter of San Francisco. He was adjutant-general of California 1872-76 and in the latter year was a delegate to the Republican National Conven- tion. On Mar. 3, 1879, “General” Foote, as he was known after having served as adjutant-gen- eral, was commissioned consul at Valparaiso, Chile.

His interest in the indepem@énce of Texas is shown by a visit to that country in this same year, an interest which eventuatethin his first book, Texas and the Tex- ans (2 volp #841). In 1847 he was elected to the United Stats Senate, where he ardently support- ed the coiipfomise measures of 1850. All the other Mispissippi congressmen opposed these measures, farticularly his colleague in the Senate, Jefferson Davis.

The antag- onism wagipersonal as well as public, for three years earlier Foote and Davis had exchanged blows at theif boarding house (Dunbar Rowland, Jefferson Datis, Constitutionalist, 1923, VII; 393 ff.). In viewre@e the fact that the Mississippi legis- lature pass@d fesolutions censuring Foote for ad- vocating the €ompromise measures, his defeat of Davis for tR@ governorship of that state in 1851 is surprising, @m@ is a monument to his great ability as a stump speaker. His administration, 1853-54, was marke@@hiefly by the fierce struggle between the Union ad state-rights factions, the latter be- ing successfull to the chagrin of Foote. Five days before the expiration of his term, Foote resigned the governOrahip and moved to California.

When his comniunications to Seward afd Lincoln on the subject of terms of peace were @0elly received, Foote departed for Europe. He might well be called the Vallandi- gham of the South.

Christians need _ Gt sorrow as those who have no hope, but never-: Meless they sorrow. Ppaphroditus, the man who ame to Rome while Paul was a prisoner and Peoucht him a present from the saints at Philippi, Bs “sick nigh unto death.” But Paul says “God red him, lest I have sorrow upon sorrow.” Pay] & wonderfully great character, but, like his ne Lord, be could feel the pangs of sorrow. * " §But the bitterness in the cup of sorrow may be Weetened, And many sorrowing hearts may eagerly mweetened by the sympathy of the living. When O8r Saviour said, “My soul ts exceeding sorrowful, jen unto death,” He found ho human sympathy— 8 three chosen disciples were asleep, Not 80, as rule, now. Into the bitter cup of our sorrow flows sweetness of human Sympathy. We feel that all there is a touch of human nature which b8 all the world akin. To me, this is the beau- side of a funeral. When John was in the Isle Patmos he styled himself, “I, John, who also am brother and companion in tribulation.” And h those sad bereavements come we find many Mpanions who feel another's woe, and with him a part. Hut not only is our cup of sorrow sweetened by Me sympathy of the living, but it is sweetened by © memory of the dead. In the book of Proverbs read, “The memory of the just is blessed.” And poet tells us, “The memory of the just smells sweet And blossoms tn the dust,” How soothing and Satisfying the precious memo- es we cherish of some of the choice souls who have ecended on high! When a woman, whose husband fas dying in an adjoining room, was telling me &00d he had been, and 1 knew she was telling 8 truth, I said, well that ought now to be to you Source of comfort.

Most interesting of the artifacts in the smaller, circular cellar was a pile of “gorncobs piled against one of the walls. No satisfactory explanation has yet been made of them or of that cellar. Campfire Evidence On the bottom of the mai cellar was an abundance o charcoal and at several place: baked earth indicative o campfires. In the small cel was a pile of charcoal above bottom and a well-defined pit. Stone has guessed that the cellars were completed first and used as a kind of wind break while the rest of the fort was being finished.

Duquesne. Translate some of his mili- tary jargon into the English of the layman, read “ditch” in- Stead of “fosse” and “earth- work instead of “glacis’ ‘and change another word or two and his instructions can be made to read, ‘The first thing to be done is to make a log house for the soldiers and then trace out and Clear the ground around the fort. Then throw out the dirt from a ditch to form the earth- works and fix the palisades,” Something like that may well have been the instructions he had already given to Captain Hugh Waddell for building the fort on the North Cayolina frontier that was to bear the governor's name. In about the time he had heard of Braddock’s defeat, he had met Waddell and his company after @ scouting trip near the moun- tains and had picked out a place “near the Catawha’s River” for the site for winter quarters and a barrack and a fort and had given orders for Waddell to build them. His advice came in December ing easier to clear the Md.

Very nat di was thrown back from the way the dirt was thrown back in and from the way erosion took place on the ditch, he is certain that the earthworks were on the inside of the ditch, between it and the barracks. Were there also palisades fixed? No archeological evi- dence has been uncovered during the past two summers of such a palisade. The very lack of evidence, though, becomes evidence that, if there were a palisade, it was on top of the earthworks apd any ar- cheological evidence has eroded away. We have one description of the fort that says outright that it was a “stockaded” fort. Dobbs wrote the Board of Trade describing the fortifications of the province sometime in 1761, after the Cherokee wars were over. ‘‘There is also besides the coastal fortifications which he described in detail a small Stockaded fort built near the Catawba to defend the western Settlements from the Cherokee Indians." Dobbs did not call the frontier fort Ft. Dobbs; that was a name given it by the Assembly. He called it simply ‘the fort on the Western frontier” or “the fort near the Catawba’s River” — or as here, simply “near the Catawba,’ On March 15, 1756, following a meeting of the Assembly that was more generous with aid to the king than the one in 1761 after the danger was past, he summed up the aid given. “One thousand pounds is granted for a fort.on our western frontier , where a place is fixed upon near the Catawba’s River, where a stockadoed fort is ordered to be erected for our frontier com- pany, but as we expect our frontier will extend westward, we shall not be at any great ex- pense, as it may be proper to extend it forward to the west- ward.”’ But, when all the evidence is in, there is little question that there was some kind of palisade around the frontier fort, most likely an top of the earthworks.

In the diagram Sepmpanying the photograph aaeery Stone, state archeologist, has shown how it can be fitted finto one of the bastions of the palin building of the fort, if that fe ort is centered. It was hoped hat another such line might be found, but the search for it was pecessful, Erosion Takes Toll western moat shows up at, and it was from there that most of the artifacts were falten. The #*“ment of it that shows up best .s that which was uncovered after the black top road was dug up to find it, in the southwest corner. Erosion there has been blocked since some time in the 1920s, and the ditch there is deepest of anywhere. The eastern moat shows up almost as well, but in the excavation of it comparatively few artifacts were found. No attempt was made to tear up- the road to find the southeast corner, and the northeast corner is entirely missing, as if erosion had taken its full toll there. On both the eastern moat and its western mate, the bend to- ward the center can be plainly seen. A 53-foot building set over the cellars with one of its bastions along the short ‘line parallel to the western moat would be approximately 28 feet from each. of the angles in the moat Straight Shot Those angles in the moat and in the palisade that is supposed J to have been on the earthworks inside the moat cut out any blind.spot in the defense that a straight palisade would have made. It can easily be seen how aman with a musket behind the bastion parallel to the north- west corner of the moat would have had a straight shot down the palisade along the south- west moat. Except under the road the south moat is not so well de- fined, but the segment that was uncovered was very productive of artifacts, and Stone is of the opinion that the palisade en- trance was in the middle of that south wall, Neither is the north moat well defined, but it, too, has been productive of some of the best artifacts. Two Cellars Excavation has shown that there were two cellars to the fort. The larger had a 2oot square floor, and was deep-en- ough for a man to have stood upright in it. The other one was circular with a diameter of about eight feet and about eight inches deeper and connected to the main cellar with an en- trance way of some kind. At the bottom of the main cellar were two small, regular depressions. One was about twog feet square and six to eight inches deep. The other wa more rectangular and covered with a piece of well-preserve slab.

The white peo- | ple began fleeing from their homes and “enforting” then elves in the fort. An interesting side note that the first place of worship the settlers con- structed was “a stand”; It consisted of “a slab between two white oak trees about a mile south west ol where Captain Waddell 1s building Fort Dobbs.” The back country began to fill up and the: need for the protection of the fort grew less. It was ed in the Assembly on April 28, 1/62 by al M:. Corbin “that al] the arms and | ammunition now remaining in Fort} Dobbs on the Western Frontier for} the security thereof, be carried to the Moravian Settlement, or Som other vlace of safety near the aid Fort.” In a letter dated Ap! 3 1764. Johr Ashe, Spe aker of the Ass mbly, wrote Governor Dobbs that the House would be pleased to have him see “that the j Stores at Fort Dobbs in Rowan Coun- ty be removed from thence to Salis-| bury.” On April 30, 1766, Governor | Tryon wrote the Board of Trade in London that “Fort Dobbs in Rowan} County is neglected and in ruins, if | this Fort had been kept up tt could not have been of further service again st the Indians as the inhabitants of this Provinee have since the last wal extended their settlements upwards of seventy miles to the westw ard of the Fort.” After the Indian troubi ‘ away the settlers hecame more set tled!

Other records have shown that t, Dobbs was designed and iit by North Caroline's third Royal governor, Arthur Dobbs, former, Surveyor Caneral of Ire- land, to defend the backcountry from the French amd the northern Indians. The fort's original purpose was to protect the white settlers in the area and the local @ Indians, the Catawbas and Cherokees, who were then British allies. Trouble in Virginia The fort was constructed at about the same time North Caro. lina dispatched troops to ald Virginia in her fight against the French Indians The precarious pesition of the Virginia frontier had caused a flood of settlers to leave their homes there and come to North Carolina. In fact the entire frontier area of both North Carolina and Virginia was in an uproar from fear of marauding bands of ‘northern Indians.” Settlers built small fortifications to defend them- selves from attack.

[ When the French and Indian War q broke out, the Cherokees, ' Were cousins of the Iroquois in the North, sided with the English ra- Mher than the French. They went with the English on Braddock’s ex- Gpedition and then to help quiet the ‘Bhawnees, It was on the return from that @ipedition that the incident oc- Peurred that changed them from “friends to enemies. Like the early incidents in Iredell with the Ca- 'tawbas, it was closely related to the differences of concept of priv- @te property and the rights of warriors. the way back the Cherokee races appropriated some horses in the southern part of Virginia, ' fist above Mt.

It appar- ently was never attacked but once, and the Indians were driven back rather easily then, Rockwell says that the spot for the fort was chosen because it was about half way from north_ to south on the Carolina frontier, It |probably was moved west from the first selected spot because the frontier was moving west with the coming of more settlers. Its armament included two can- non which had just recently been brought from England, and import- ant in its whole plan was a well to supply water within the stock- ade wails. disappeared years ago; there one story that the cannon were dumped into the well and both covered together, but efforts more i a hundred years ago failed to find either. The government fort was not the only one on the frontier, As well | ergo or beter known because of better records, was one im the Moravian country at Bethania, And Rockwell spotted as many a6 six community forts in what is now Iredell. He thought that in time of trouble some of the militia from Ft. Dobbs could be placed in such subsidiary forts. Rockwell were south of Third Creek, one on a branch of With- row’s Creek called Beaver Dam | Branch, another about St. Mich- ael’s church, and a third on the road from there to Sherrill’s Ford. The other three were east of Ft. Dobbs, on the ridge between Four- th and Fifth creeks, One was just across Fourth Creek from States- ville, somewhere in the Simonton neighborhood; another was on down the ridge somewhere im the neighborhood of New Salem" Chur- ch: and @ third was on a high hill overlooking a mill on the south branch of Fifth Creek, In.1759 an expedition against the Oherokees backfired, It was plan- ned by South Carolina, Virginia and North Carolina troops to pun- ish the Indians in their own towns across the mountains, but without the help of the North Carolina troops, it was not successful in punishing the Cherokees enough. It only irritated them enough to send them onto the frontier with renewed vigor. In February of 1760 they even went so far as to attack Ft, Dobbs itself. Waddell, the builder og the fort, was back in charge again af- ter taking time off to help in an ex- pedition to capture Ft, Duquesne in Pennsylvania, and he succeeded in beating off the attack with only slight losses. Two of the garrison were wounded, one was scalped, and one boy was killed. | Ten or twelve of the Indians were said to have been killed or wounded, but they took their dead and wounded and retreated across the mountains and did not attack again. Rockwell tells that the fort was warned by the barking of dogs and that the commander of the fort at first attempted to meet the attack outside but was driven in, and he suggests that it was the particular murderous work of the cannon that made the Indians re- fuse to attack again, However, the story of the one at- tack on Ft.

Presumably was opened in February, 1847, in an attempt to find cannon said to have been thrown there when the fort was abandoned. No cannon were found, and the well was filled. Rockwell guessed that they had opened cul A the wrong well. As years cot passed, the material put back into the well sank, leaving a hole that marked for future genera- tions the site. In 1908 a chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was organized. It took the name of Ft. Dobbs Chapter and almost imme- diately began a campaign to mark the site and then to restore the fort. Marker Sought During 1909 fund-raising campaigns were carried on to place a granite marker near where the old well was opened. Among those fund raising plans were such projects as short rides in an automobile for a small sum, some kind of a floral parade and a tea served in the ¢ rooms of the Commercial Club. Research on the old fort and its a place in history was also encouraged by offering prizes to school students. More important, ments were made with John Hatchett, owner of the site for six land fot the marker. He gave them a small 25x 40 foot tract to be used for the purpose — with the provision that it revertto the i family if it were not so used. On November 2, 1910, a — marker was unveiled with Rev. Plato Durham making the F address. From then until Worid War 1 stopped the interest, plans went forward. Celebrations took place at the marker on the 4th of July, celebrations attended by large crowds — in 1913 between 1,000 and 1,500 reported as pm present in spite of threatening sq weather. Research Continued Research continued on the old fort, much done by Mrs. Minnis § Hampton Eliason, who came out with a brochure that became the accepted story of the fort. In late 1914 an article on Ft. Dobbs appeared in the national periodical of the Daughters of the American Revolution and with it a drawing of what they thought the fort looked like. The drawing was made by Leonard White, a young Statesville architectural student at the an University of North Carolina, That drawing, which found its way into Ft. Dobbs literature and even into history books, showed a three-story block- house with overhangs from each Presbyterian. minister and teacher at David- | son College, questioned every- | body he could about the early # history of the section.

It is based on foundation lines uncovered and other contemporary methods of construction. every spot on the wall to be defended from the corners. Cashion also thought of the “oblong square” as an open court rather than a building. Digging Resumed With South’s and Cashion’s research in hand, money was appropriated for two weeks further digging at the site, and supervision was taken over by a newly-organized Iredell County Historical Society. In mid-1968 South came and dug for two weeks. The first thing he found was a small ditch angling across the site for some eight or ten feet. It could have been the bottom of a bastion palisade, and with much more evidence in, it still fits that picture. Soon, though, that discovery was overshadowed by more important discoveries — evidence of a deep ditch on three sides of the site, and the probability of the same thing under the public road on the other side. Each side curved slightly in toward the center, forming a four-sided star such as was common around the DeVauban forts of the period. This South interpreted as a dry moat that had been dug around the central fort, and he drew a chart of a building with four DeVauban bastions stand- ing in the center of the moat, with one bastion running along the first ditch he had found. In the center, under what would have been the east end of such a building, he found evidences of a large cellar — so large that the “oblong square” was bound to have been a roofed building rather than an open court. The open court he presumed was formed by a palisade on the inside of the moat. State Funds Work With these discoveries the State Department of Archives and History recommended the raising of $10,000 locally to do a complete archeological job in 1969 and later for the community to purchase enough more land around the site to protect any development in the future from the encroachments of civilization. The $10,000 was raised by private contributions and with the help of county and city governments, and another $3,000 was given by the Richardson’s Foundation. During the summer of 1969 archeological work was practi- cally completed under the Supervision of Garry Stone, who had replaced South as state archeologist. Much of the summer’s work was negative. Little more was found than details to support the theories of South the summer before. A search was made for other bastions and nothing was found in the whole area inclosed by the moat that resembled one. The moat was cleaned out and it turned out to be a mine of information — full of broken pieces of pottery and metal and animal bones. The road was removed and another side found to the moat much as had been guessed. Not just one cellar was found but two. One was a square over 20 feet to the side; the other was round with about a 10-foot dia- meter. Like the moat they gave up a variety of artifacts. Old Well Reopened The old well was cleaned out again, to bed rock more than 40 feet down. No cannon was found, but the bottom was filled with timber that had fallen in. More important, there was water. Earlier traditions had said the well opened in 1847 was dry and that-had led to a guess that there had been more than one well. No evidence of any other had been found, and the water indicated that the well that had marked the site for so long was actually the well of the fort. When the work for the summer was finished, the site was stabilized. Except under the road the moat was left open and a drainage system put in for it and the cellars.-A steel collar was put around the top of the well and it was covered with a steel plate. Work on analyzing the artifacts found is continuing in the laboratory of the State Department of Archives and History at Raleigh. Much is yet to be done, but Stone has made a preliminary report on the pottery found there. Report on Findings More than 600 fragments were found, with at least 70 different vessels tentatively identified. The coarse earthenware frag- ments are practically all from the kilns at Betharaba. Most surprising, though, is the large percentage oi imported refined ceramic types — almost 48 per cent — used for serving tea and alcoholic punch, status symbols of the colonial officer. Over a third of the ceramics found in that frontier fort was for social purposes. Guessing is continuing on what the fort looked like. What South and Cashion guessed to be a very small open courtyard was actually a very large log building surrounded by a palisaded courtyard. And the problem has arisen as to how log walls 40 and 53 feet long could be built. Stone has drawn his idea, § copying what large log build- ings of the period he knows — the Brothers House at Salem and the Sisters House at Ephrata, Penn. Even since his drawing, though his attention has been called to the fact that there were other methods in use for joining logs to make a long wall, and he is studying those. It is likely that the inner building had two “opposite angles’ rather than four. The well is in the way of one on the south-west corner, and the northwest and _ southeast corners of the moat are further § away, suggesting a _ larger building in those directions. The § well in his drawing is placed right, but its syperstructure is uncertain. ‘It is accurate for some of the wells of the day; but pumps were available, too, and there is the possibility of water pumped into the central build- ing. The next stage in the state- projected outline is the procurement of land to add to the ten acres already available. The legislature has appro- priated $15,000 to be used to match funds raised locally, and The North Carolina Society for the Preservation of Antiquities has promised a small incentive grant of $200 to start the move- ment. Applications are in for federal monies to match what is raised locally and from the state. Whatever is done locally must be done before mid-1971, When that is done it is hoped that the state will take over and develop the site.

Frontier History Restoration — Efforts Keep : Interest Alive In Old Iredell Site hings are brewing at old Fort Dobbs in Iredell County. The folks there aren’t preparing for an Indian attack or another skirmish with the French. Instead, they’re working toward the res toration of the 18th. century frontier outpost. Fort Dobbs was the hdme base for the company of some 50 rangers who patrolled the frontier from some time in 1755 or 1756 until it was dismantled in 1764 It was also a place of refuge for the early settlers inthe days when Cherokees and Catawbas roamed unmolested through the forests of North Carolina. The site was an excellent place for a fort. This is apparent even today when all is quiet around it as it stands in the midst of cul tivated fields and sloping hills —an excellent vantage point to detect the enemy. After it was abandoned in 1764, the building is said to have stood there until well after the American Revolution. And it was used during that time as a rendezvous point for the milita men. Tradition has it that the logs from which the fort was built were later used to build a school nearby. A 1756 description says the fort was an “oblong square,” 53x40 feet with “opposite angles’ 24 feet and 22 feet, 24', feet high, oe with three stories, made of logs ranging upward from 16 inches to six inches. It was "Beautifully scituated (sic) in the fork of the Fourth Creek, a tributary of the Yadkin.” | Fort Dobbs was built by Hugh Waddell, captain of the Rangers and named for Arthur Dobbs, colonial governor who persuaded the Assembly to make an ap propriation for building it. Flurries of interest have kept alive efforts to restore the old fort. One period of strong interest came in 1849, when a well near the fort was excavated to a depth of 40 feet in an unsuccessful at tempt to find a brass cannon Another period of interest was just before World War |, when ceremonies were scheduled an nually at the site each Fourth of July for several years. During this period, the Fort Dobbs Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) obtained pos session of the fort site and several acres of land around it Mrs. C. V Linney of Statesville, a member of the Fort Dobbs com mittee from the Fourth Creek chapter of DAR, said the site was purchased by DAR in 1910 “The chapter used to grow cot ton on the land to raise funds for excavation,’’ she said: ‘'We’re doing just a little bit at the time.”’ A model of what Ft. Dobbs may have looked like inside the DAR chapter house ; EY ah AN ic ao a CAROLINA FARMER, JULY, 1969 Recent study of the @#@itional site by Stanley South, @peheolo- gist for the divisigs 4 torical sites of the Nort®/@arolina Department of Archi and History, has confirmed the site location. jw In the summer of 1967, he examined a depressian gaid to have been the cellar of the fort and found broken pieces@fpottery which he identified as comimg from the Moravian town of Bethabara.

Waddell presented his credentials from the sheriff of Rowan and took his seat in the Assembly five days later, on November 28. In the meantime he was at New Bern busy giving detailed accounts of how he had spent more than 2,000 pounds, or most of it. He had a balance of 174 pounds 4 shillings, 7 pence, a half-penny. Two weeks later he was named justice of the peace for Rowan by the state council. It simply would not do to have an assemblyman who could not write Esquire after his name. We have no record of Waddell’s activities as a justice of the peace. We have enough of his actions as a member of the Assembly to draw a fair picture. He was reelected each time that Dobbs dissolved the old assembly and called for a new one to be elected, and was a member until he decided to settle down in Bladen: Then he was elected from Bladen. Something of his popularity in Rowan can be judged by a Statement of the Moravian leaders of Bethabara in the election held during the worst of the Indian troubles in April of 1760, Wachovia was still in Rowan County, and they noted in their diary that two of their brethren went to Salisbury to carry some 30 proxies in the vote for assemblyman. Their votes were for H. Waddell and John Frohock, who proved suc- cessful. His interest of four years earlier was paying off. At that session the newly- elected Assembly wrote a long bill of indictment against Gov. Dobbs. The first item was that Dobbs had been careless in his appointment of military offi- cers; but almost in the same breath, at least on the same day, the Assembly passed a resolution saying they did not mean Waddell, that he had carcfully accounted for all monies put into his hands. — When Dobbs finally answered the charges of the Assembly, he admitted that some of his appointments had been ill advised, but he went into details about his pride in Waddell. He, like the Assembly, noted: Waddell’s financial integrity, and he added his praise of him as a soldier, And as if to back up his opinion, he recommended Waddell to the Council. He was to recommend three and from those, the leaders in England _ Statesville Record picked one for a_ council vacancy. Waddell was not picked. Later William Tryon recommended Waddell for the council, but for a second time he was passed over. There were times when Waddell did not appear in the Assembly, but those were the times when he was busy with his troops on some frontier. At other times he was faithful in his attendance, and while he did not present many bills, you can rest assured that he was a factor in getting military appropriations passed. He was representative not only for Rowan, but for that day’ S| Pentagon as well. The last meetings of the Assembly in which Waddell was representative from Rowan were held at Wilmington rather than New Bern, and it is easy to guess that he found other interests that day to day meet- ings. In 1762 he officially left Rowan, married Mary Hayne and was soon appointed justice of the peace for Bladen and appeared as member from that county. His Rowan days were over, Encounter Reported WASHINGTON (AP) — The Vietnam Moratorium Commit- tee was asked for $20,000 by the militant Weatherman wing of Students for a Democratic So- ciety in exchange for a promise to remain peaceful during anti- war demonstrations, the Wash- ington Post said Tuesday. The newspaper quoted Ste- phen Cohen, one of the Morato- rium leaders as saying: “They came in and said they wanted $20,000. They tried to shake me down. They wanted protection money. We told them to get lost.’’ Weatherman leader William | Ayers denied threatening vio- : lence, but did acknowledge the Weatherman group had asked for money to help pay legal costs of members arrested dur- ing demonstrations in Chicago in September, the Post said. “They did not say we have | come here to blackmail you,” | Cohen said, “‘but it was clear | that what they were saying to | us was that if you give us | ae of violence.” SS “The digging has turned up t bones..of what. appears to - that of a deer near the palisades | ) J] wall Also found were the stem | || ff ftom a clay pipe an English | ie “We're very sure that we have || found the location of the fort,” & Es tee gt soldier might have carried) during the period, a lead flint! collar, used to hold flint in a| musket, and musket balls.

Preface The Fourth Creek Burying Ground is a sloping rectangle surrounded ‘by a thick stone wall with two iron gates Within this wall lie our Scotch-Irish ancestors who fought the Indians, gave their lives to free this country from British rule, and distinguished themselves in the Civil War. The graveyard is more like a garden than a cemetery, Rising from a broad green carpet of grass are towering hemlock, spruce, white pine, holly, and magnolia trees Along the wall and walks are ancient boxwoods, crepe myrtle, lilac, and barberry bushes. In winter these time less sentinels stretch their long shadows on. glistening snow; in summer they create a refuge of cool dignity. Directly opposite the gates are stone benches, built into the walls; and to outline the whole is a slender rock path that winds around the shrubs and markers as though it wished to give them the deference they deserve. The cemetery is situated only two blocks from the center of town, with three streets converging at the south- eastern corner, but inside the wall a magie mood prevails. All noise disappears, carrying with it the sounds of the city, melting away like a retreating echo. The only move- ment is wind in the ‘trees, but the quiet is one of beauty and love. There is no sense of time, only a gradual involve ment with the people who live there. If there are jhosts, they are friendly ones, welcoming you to their home. It is the hope of their descendants that traffic will always be routed around this spot, leaving it, like an island, secure in the midst of progress. In 1755 Governor Dobbs ordered a fort built to protect the settlers in the west. The graveyard is thought to have been started before this, but the earliest positive record is dated January 7, 1758. At that time Fergus Sloan and his wife Elizabeth sold, for five shillings, three-fourths of an acre of land to Robert Simonton, Thomas Alison, Sam- uel Thornton, Patrick Duffie, and William Simonton. The deed states that it was to be used for ayburial ground, and Fergus Sloan reserved a place for his own use. It further states that the tract came from the Earl of Granville to John Oliphant, and from him to Fergus Sloan. ' This was the beginning of Fourth \Creek Cemetery where it now lies, a landmark of North Carolina’s frontier. The men listed in the deed were among the eight families who formed the first Fourth Creek Presbyterian congrega- tion, but apparently the burial ground began as a cemetery for.these men and their families. Later in the year togs were placed on the hill there for a meeting house, and it must have been here that a Thanksgiving Day meeting was held by appointment of Governor Dobbs, on a Wednesday in December, 1758.7 Trouble with the Indians, however, was far from ove It continued until 1762, and for this reason the very earl est graves had no markers. Life was too precarious, time too precious, to spend on anything but the bare essentials The first church stood near the northeast corner of the graveyard, and, though made of logs, must have been spacious. There were usually from eight to fifteen children in each family. A spring and cool brook flowed at the foot of the hill, where the youngsters could bathe their feet after walking dusty miles, then don their Sunday shoes. People walked ten miles and back home from Elk Shoal, from Sherrill’s Ford, from Rocky Creek and Snow Creek, following trails on blazed trees to the meeting house.’ For over a hundred years this was the only burying ground in the area, except for small private cemeteries, so it con- tains many graves besides those of Presbyterians. Anyone was privileged to bury there.

At last, in 1933, the chance came to preserve these old friends solidly for posterity. Mrs. E. M. Land was made Administrator of the Emergency Relief Administration in Iredell. Among many other projects, the Fourth Creek Cemetery received federal and state funds.'' Mrs. Land applied for money to be spent in any number of places, but perhaps none have proven more significant than the restoration of this valuable landmark. Many workmen were employed: stonemasons, nursery- men, engineers, and architects. All of them benefited, not only financially, but with a better appreeiation of their heritage. This is shown by the testimonial they themselve erected without Mrs. Land’s knowledge. On a tablet inside the upper gate pillar is a list of everyone who worked on the restoration, with her name heading the list. Prior to this, in the era of World War I, a program of beautification was begun. The first step was taken in 1918 by the graduating class of Mitchell College, who gave ever- greens and crepe myrtle to be planted along the western wall in honor of Statesville boys killed in France. About the same time the United Daughters of the Confederacy started a fund for improvement. By 1921 the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Civic League, Woman's Club, and other local groups were heartily behind this move ment.'? When Mrs. Land and Dr. Raynal began the restoration, many women’s organizations supported them In one of his written articles, Dr. Raynal expressed gratitude to Mrs. Oscar Steele for securing the cooperation of some of the organizations. In recent years the Brookdale Garden Club of Statesville has contributed much to upkeep, with cleaning, planting, marking, and pruning. At a congregational meeting December £7. 1988," the members of the First Presbyterian Church conveyed the Fourth Creek Cemetery to the City of Statesville on con dition “that the city accept and maintain the same as & memorial cemetery to be designated as ‘Fourth Creek Memorial Burying Ground’, and preserved in perpetuity as a memorial to the pioneers and soldiers buried there.” Paragraph two of the resolution states: “If the said grantee fails to maintain and use said property for said purpose, that upon its failure to do so, or upon its use of the property for any other purpose, or upon its alienation, the title to the same shall immediately revert in fee simple to the congregation of the First Presbyterian Church at Statesville, North Carolina.” ' Work under the Emergency Relief Administration con- tinued through 1935. This was done in accordance with landscaping plans and specifications prepared by Dr. Ray- nal. * There is a sketch he drew for planting among his papers. It shows the stone benches on the wall, rock paths wandering around the rectangle, and formal arrangements of trees and shrubs. At the same time that the rocks of the wall were set in concrete, perhaps the most important contribution of all was made. The tombstones were set in rows to facilitate the finding of names. An old cemetery is never without legend. Just inside the lower gate, and close to the wall, a large cedar tree grows out of the grave of William Stevenson, one of the first elders of the church. The original marker has disappeared. He was called “Little Gabriel” because he was a man of small stature, and because of his “wonderful power in prayer.” The story is told that Dr. James Hall, an early pastor who served the area, once stood before a congrega- after the dhed betore buried and Summers, Margaret A.

When there was a question, we went to the cemetery for confirmation. Ex- cept for months, and “Born” and “Died”, the abbrevia- tions are original. Some phrases such as “departed this life”, “sacred to the memory of”, “here lies the body of”, or “A.D.” have been deleted in the interest of space. When “unmarked” is found with a ‘name, the stone is not there, but evidently was at one time. When birth and death dates were given, we omitted the repetition of age. When only one date is shown, that is the only one available. Question marks are original: spelling and punctuation are directly copied from the list. Even unidentified letters on smal] markers ‘are included. When the same grave number is given, more than one name is on the marker. The cemetery is located at the intersection of Water Street, West End Avenue, and North Meeting. The row numbers begin at the lower east corner of the wall, moving uphi!l, and the graves are numbered from the left All the following names and dates were in the ceme- tery in 1933. We are attaching an affidavit for authorita tive genealogical proof of generations.
